Well, hello. Long time no hear from me – I know. As can sometimes happen, life took me on a diversionary route. It is one of those times, which I am sure many of you, if not all, can relate to; readjusting to this new life we are all leading at the moment. My diversion was good, in as much I have had time to refocus. Consequently, I have rethought the blog and how things may develop from here.
First, I have to tell you, in line with not blogging, I have not completed any craft to share with you this time round. However, this will most definitely change and I will share my progress on the Scheepjes 2020 CAL d’Histoire Naturelle by Christina Hadderingh from A Spoonful of Yarn in my next blog. Also, I am not starting anything new until I have made a considerable dent in my pile of unfinished projects. So, look forward to revisiting such popular and well known names as the Demelza Blanket.
Hopefully, you have been progressing with your projects. If not, perhaps you have been able to refocus and move forward step by step as I have. However, it is important that you look after yourself and take the time and space to work toward where you want to be. This is Fun! Not a drudge. So if you are still getting it together – so be it. This is your hobby, time and space – enjoy!
For me, personally, being able to do something creative has helped greatly in good and bad times and I wonder what is helpful to you?
For the dHistoire Naturelle by Christina Hadderingh I have chosen my colourway:
It is Stylecraft Special DK.
Come, let us craft our way through this testing time. Please feel free to sign up to be notified of future posts and I would welcome any comments you care to leave.
Take care and be safe.

I was wondering when you would be back, great to read what you are up to. I keep promising myself that I have to read ten books before I can buy another and then before I know it I’ve accidentally broken that promise! Same with your projects! ❤❤❤

Hi Kate
I confess that if I only started something new when all WIPS were finished, I’d never get anything made at all. There are times – I’ll admit – many of them – when I need to veer off the current project and work on something else. Sometimes I need a quick baby gift, or a hat, a scarf for someone. A shawl…I make lots of those. A blanket or throw is something I’ve always got on the needles – a few rows here, a few rows there – you know what I mean. Sometimes I just need a change of colour scheme for a bit. Maybe we crafters are too hard on ourselves? Anyway, I admire your resolve. Keep us posted.

How you describe flitting between different projects as you feel and require, is me to a tee. I have just got to a point I need some organisation and space to live. To be clear, I have not undertaken to finish all WIP before something new; just make a dent in them. I try to live in the real world rather than fantasy!lol

There’s a trick to this. If you can spare the space, place your UFOs in a basket, a bowl, a vase. If they’re not staring at you from a plastic bag, they can look very arty!

Sounds good but I am afraid my situation has moved beyond arty. The bowls, baskets and other various receptacles are full.

Then maybe a bit of a clear out’s in order? Don’t torment yourself with projects you’re probably never going to complete.
